BackSpace Beyond, Teaser Poster

For quite some time now we have been working away on the Next BackSpace! After we wrapped The BackSpace Trilogy, we went off and worked on a few other projects including Tales from Black Manor the Movie, StarPost, and the Curiosity Shoppe.

But before any of those projects ever even started, there was one more BackSpace. It was called BackSpace Beyond. The biggest challenge we faced with BackSpace Beyond was that it kept growing. Scope creep was very very real. The worlds we wanted to explore, the adventures we wanted to have, the new characters we wanted to introduce - everyday - the story just exploded…

Here’s the first peak…

The Curiosity Shoppe and the Next BackSpace!

We’re so excited about our next three projects! Each of these is weaving together Live Action, Unreal Engine, and even experiments with artificial intelligence in new and exciting ways that we never dreamed possible. 

As filmmakers we have always been excited about new ways to tell stories. Whether that was digital cameras, to FTP systems to share and review footage, to CGI and motion graphics. It leads us down new alleyways and adventures. It’s these exciting adventures that have led us to shoot in the middle of the desert, on the abandoned sets of old spaceships, tunnels and caves. It’s what lead us to begin exploring Unreal Engine integration, whether that was with robots, meta humans, or scanning props that we built and having them live in 3D environments that we could design. 

The first project will take us to a world of curiosity, catacombs, and airships. A place where werewolves can have bad days, poison dart frog poison is sold by the vial, and explorer’s have business cards. 

That project is The Curiosity Shoppe.

The next project is one that’s really close to our hearts, the fourth installment of The BackSpace Series. Returning to those characters and that world just gets more exciting each time and this next adventure is the most thrilling yet. 

New Adventures Await...
 

New adventures await. For some time now, we’ve been hard at work behind the curtain… dreaming up, building, and carefully crafting a slate of projects. 

So let’s pull back the curtain, just an inch, on that first project.

Curious? We’re excited to announce The Curiosity Shoppe. Details remain wonderfully scarce for now, but consider this your invitation into a world where Umbrella Factories, Vampires, Werewolves, Airships, Antidotes and Poisons can all be found in the delightful town of Dreary. 

 
2026 Design and Animation Reel

2026 Design and Animation Update.

It’s that time of year again! Time to show off a brand new reel update featuring some of the cool work we’ve done for clients studios such as HarperOne and Harper Collins, Imaginary Forces, The Oscars, IBM, Amazon, Apple, Zillow, Unite Here, Reflective Democracy, Meta, Facebook, and so many more! Featuring work in Entertainment, Commercials, Events, and Brand Videos.

2025! What a Year!

What an incredible year 2025 turned out to be!

The year kicked off with StarPost, a brand-new short film that returned us to the sci-fi worlds we love. This live-action project blended visual effects with Unreal Engine, brought together some of our favorite actors, and gave us the chance to bring robots and spaceships to life in a bold, cinematic way.

Following StarPost came the release of Tales from Black Manor: The Movie, our third feature film - which is now streaming on platforms around the world!

2025 allowed us to jump in and contribute to the next Hunger Games film, Sunrise on the Reaping, Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock, and Apple TV+’s Palm Royale. Additional work included jumping in for a bit of work on the title sequence for the newest season of Foundation, along with countless commercials and live events for Amazon and AWS. And there was even a commercial for the Wizards of the Coast Spider-Man update. How cool is that! Spiderman! Working with the relentlessly talented teams at Imaginary Forces was a such a great opportunity to work on some really exciting projects.

Continuing on the commercial front, collaborations with McNally Temple Associates led to several standout spots this year, one of which even featured a devil, flames, and a pitchfork.Beyond entertainment, team-ups continued with AFSCME and Unite Here, supporting the important work they do for their members, universities, and businesses nationwide. Another highlight was contributing to a documentary on the California prison system for CCPOA, work that will help influence legislative change in the state.

And while 2025 delivered a packed slate of releases, there’s already excitement building for what’s next. Several incredible projects are well underway, with more to share in 2026!

Tales from Black Manor, The Main on End
 

Designing the Main on End

Creating the Main on End titles for Tales from Black Manor gave us the perfect excuse to revisit the eerie charm of the Black family estate, this time, with a magnifying glass. Freed from the constraints of individual narratives, we dove into the finer details that had always haunted the edges of the frame. The titles became a kind of cinematic scrapbook, tying together the threads of each tale in a single, hauntingly cohesive space.

We highlighted key artifacts from the stories such as Alistair Black’s legendary sword, Suzie’s unsettling collection of dolls, and the chilling study of Mr. Winter. Even the basement, where Ivy’s deranged father was once chained, gets its moment in the spotlight. Each location and prop was chosen to deepen the lore, creating subtle echoes of the characters’ fates and the twisted history of the manor itself.

One of our favorite touches? The gramophone that plays during the Orchestralis title, a sly nod to the film’s music. Throughout the sequence, we wove in visual easter eggs and set pieces that never quite made it into the tales, giving them a final, ghostly breath of life. The Main on End became more than just credits, it became a last, lingering look at a house built on secrets.

We also had the chance to shine a light on the manor’s forgotten corners, those shadowy nooks thick with cobwebs, shelves sagging under the weight of ancient books, and dusty instruments of bizarre experimentation all flickering with candlelight. And in those dark corners, we planted subtle hints of even more members of the Black family with their portraits proudly displayed, each one with a story still untold. Their presence suggests that the Black Manor has more tales to tell…
